Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speaks, surely he shall be swallowed up.
All Commentaries on Job 37:20 Go To Job 37
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
He shall be swallowed up. All that man can say, when he speaks of God, is so little and inconsiderable in comparison with the subject, that man is lost, and as it were swallowed up in so immense an ocean. (Challoner)
The man who should dare to mention what I could reprehend in God's works, would soon be overwhelmed with majesty. (Calmet)
Alphonsus IX, king of Leon, (the year of our Lord 1252) surnamed "the wise and the astronomer "said "he could have given some good advice respecting the motions of the stars, if he had been consulted by God "meaning to ridicule some vain systems of philosophers, then in vogue. (Dict. 1774.) (Haydock)
